Kebab Remover 110 Posted June 12, 2013 Seriously?This major error made it into the latest patch?Really?This is almost as bad as the clip vs magazine insanity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSparks (DayZ) 109 Posted June 12, 2013 The formula is "I'm packing a -weapon name-". Unfortunately it doesn't work for many guns but it is not an individual error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kebab Remover 110 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) The formula is "I'm packing a -weapon name-". Unfortunately it doesn't work for many guns but it is not an individual error.The syntax is wrong across the board, I can't think of any weapon in the game that would not require an "an".EDIT: Five came to mind, hatchet/crowbar/Winchester/CZ/DB. It seems the majority of main weapons should still be an. Edited June 12, 2013 by Kebab Remover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kebab Remover 110 Posted June 12, 2013 Lee enfieldFair point, but to me it's always be an Enfield not a Lee. The point stands that it's not more than 5 minutes out of somebody's day just to change it for the sake of my immersions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted June 12, 2013 G17 :D nah, just messing, its a fair point but there are other examples where 'an' wouldn't work so its more than just a case of adding an n to the text file, And as much as i respect peoples immersions i'd say this is pretty low down on the list of things to do.

-Gews- 7443 Posted June 12, 2013 Hehehehe maybe it should be changed to say:"Good news is I'm packing a Снайперская винтовка Драгунова and I've got some ammo for it." 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mullraugh 1151 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Wait.. this is Vanilla DayZ right?If so, we FINALLY know the bloody year DayZ takes place in. Lucky for me too. I wrote a script today setting it in 1992. So I'm pretty lucky.Edit:The devs could change it from "I'm packing a -weapon name-" to "I've got my trusty -weapon name-" Edited June 12, 2013 by mullraugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kebab Remover 110 Posted June 12, 2013 I about, I have a/an "insert weapon here" or about five different possible permutations depending on your humanity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ninjaontour 123 Posted June 12, 2013 I have to agree unreservedly with Kebab. Syntax isn't difficult to get right, and for the sake of immersion (and professionalism), it really only takes 5 minutes for someone to proof read these things.It's a little silly, most of us are grown men, and we should be able to spell and apply grammar correctly.
